Times Online: "Don’t talk to aliens " warns Stephen Hawking

by Jonathan Leake 

The aliens are out there and Earth had better watch out, at least according to Stephen Hawking. He has suggested that extraterrestrials are almost certain to exist — but that instead of seeking them out, humanity should be doing all it that can to avoid any contact.

As the volcano in Iceland continues to spew ash, flights are grounded across large areas of Europe.
